General KnowledgeDefence and Security
- AIt is a fast attack craft commissioned by the Indian Navy.
- BIt was commissioned at Naval Dockyard, Visakhapatnam.
- CIt was given by the Government of India to Sri Lankan Naval Force in 2006 and returned to the Indian Navy in May 2023.
- DIt is supposed to be used for coastal surveillance.
Explanation
INS Tarmugli is a Trinkat-class fast attack craft used for coastal surveillance and was recommissioned at the Naval Dockyard, Visakhapatnam. It was transferred to the Seychelles Coast Guard (as SCG Topaz) in 2005 — not to the Sri Lankan Navy in 2006 — before being returned to India in 2023. The Sri Lanka claim is therefore the incorrect statement. Hence option C is correct.
